Have you enrolled in driving lessons in the UAE but discovered that the process is taking longer than you had anticipated? If so, you might need to return to the driving school where you registered in order to renew your learning permit in Dubai.
This is due to the fact that, per the call centre of Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority, learning permits provided to pupils are valid for three months (RTA). To continue taking classes after the three months are up, you would need to renew the permit once more. To finish the procedure, though, you will need to take specific actions and make certain payments.
How does one renew my driving learning permit in Dubai?
Your learning permit renewal cannot be done online, according to the RTA website, rta.ae. You must instead go in person to the driving centre where you first opened your traffic file.
You must present your Emirates ID when you visit the centre. The driving centre will next confirm the expiration date of the permit by checking your traffic file in the system using the information from your Emirates ID.
After that, you will have to pay the Dh120 renewal cost. A text message with a link to download the permit will be sent to the phone number you provided when you paid the costs.
The permit will be withdrawn once more in accordance with federal traffic law, according to the RTA website, if the road tests are not taken within six months of the renewal date. If you find yourself in this circumstance, you will have to reapply for permission renewal using the same procedure as before.
Cost
A light motor vehicle renewal will cost you Dh100 plus a Dh20 knowledge charge.
Total – Dh120.
